Breitbart created a bogus scandal that led to Sherrod losing her job, and very briefly, her reputation. How is that not damaging?
Did Breitbart running the video clip enhance Sherrod's reputation, or the reverse?
I'm thinking she is going to have a hard time proving damages. USDA offered her a better job than she had before even if she chose not to take it. At that point the financial damages become voluntary.
If anything, the whole situation enhanced her reputation instead of damaging it.
As for "pain and suffering" hopefully she finds that those settlements don't come near as easy when you actually have to make your case before a judge/jury.

The BB clip was the trigger to a situation that ended up enhancing her reputation.
The key to civil lawsuits is proving damages. If there are no damages then the way the system is supposed to work there is no financial settlement.
In some cases they may rule for the plaintiff (example" Breitbart was reckless) and award $1 in damages if there were no actual damages.
Show me where she has been damaged. She's a celebrity. she will end up making millions off of Breitbarts video. Will you buy her book?
Lost her job, had her reputation smeared on national TV.
I'll probably not buy the book.
Within 24 hours got an apology and got offered a better job by the same people with the opportunity to make even more money than she was making before, plus got her reputation enhanced nationwide to the point of sainthood.
win-win for Shirley.
So she didn't get her job back. Did Breitbart apologize to Sherrod? Must have missed that..
win-win-win if she beats s bag Breitbart in court.
s bag Breitbart is still hero to s bag right-wingers, like Fabulous Fabrice is still a hero on Wall St for his successful $1B Abacaus scam.
LOL @ CC arguing that Sherrod basically owes Breitbart a debt of gra ude for his unethical, unprofessional smear.
She voluntarily turned down the job offer. Big difference.
Apologies have nothing to do with civil lawsuits unless that is a condition of a settlement.
Laughing at you trying to say she was damaged.
Did she get her job back?
I can't quite see how the job offer remedies the shabby way she was fired, nor why she should be content to accept another job she didn't ask for.
It helps to understand a little about civil law. She is required to prove monetary damage in order to receive compensation from BB.
I am saying under the cir stances that is an extremely high hurdle for her to meet.
I get that. Aren't damage to a person's reputation and pain and suffering part of the equation too?
Before we know the nature of the action Sherrod may take against Brreitbart, isn't it a little soon to weigh in on whether she can meet the burden?
Seems like a ready made libel case to me. Didn't Breitbart act with reckless disregard for the truth?
"Didn't Breitbart act with reckless disregard for the truth"
reckless? GMAFB intentional
Much harder to prove intent, but that seems plausible to me.
He published a portion of a tape that were her exact, unaltered words.
Good luck getting libel out of that.
Look. I'm not defending Breitbart. I think what he did sucked.
That doesn't mean SS can get anywhere in a civil suit, though. She has a terribly weak case.
Maybe, maybe not. We'll see, CC.
Since when does he matter to a liberal?
Years later, and Dan Rather still hasn't apologized for those phony Bush memos his own experts said were forgeries.
happens. Gert over it.
You lib s really are amusing. Expecting the media left of center to appologize, but never... I mean never, expect the left of center media to do the same.
ing low life hypocrites. That's all you are.
I take it you're enjoying another Jaegermeister afternoon, Cobra?
Context, WC. CC brought up the White House's apology to Sherrod. I pointed out that has no bearing on Sherrod's beef with Breitbart.
Please catch up.
